| venson has entirely ruined his health by
! the practice, and both of his lungs have
! been impaired beyond medical skill solely
| by the constant inhaling of the deadly
| smoke, He is frankly conscious of the
evil effects of the vice that has so secure

! earnest efforts of his mother wife and
! friends the practice goes on unabated.

| companion on retiring at night and ths
first sought by him ON rising. Physicians
of all lands have warned in vain, fearing
the eliminating effects ON a constitution
! already nearly shattered, and ON "A mind
| from which has cmanated those wonder
full romances that have made their author
